Isn’t it really a question of whether they were there for “the one” or for a rock concert that apparently took place at the same time.
Another miracle!
Obama turned 20,000 fans into 200,000 fans! And there were enough leftovers to fill twelve baskets!
LOL!!!!!
Either way, the difference is just a bunch of zeros- ie, people who have zero votes in the US.
But all the kegs were empty ...
..and 20,000 basket cases.
Regardless of the actual number the crowd was there for a 2-band free benefit rock concert. Obama was a added to the line up of special celebrity speakers. If you watched the news last night, you would have thought 200,000 adoring fans show up to touch the robes of the Messiah
He just lies.
Is that 200,000 in English, or metric units?
20,000 people with 19,000 of them part of the US media.
Obviously that type of information is not important enough to get reported.
Twelve... uh, ONE HUNDRED TWENTY baskets! There were One Hundred Twenty baskets of scraps! Just ask Brian Williams, Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric. That is if they will get up off their bloody and scarred knees long enough to drop the Chapstick and actually consider returning to reality.
I hope the MSN are feeling like a bunch of useful idiots about now. I think this is whole EU campaign trip is going to have a big backlash.
I think what Obama is going to find out is that this trip came at a time to do him no good, and potentially only harm. Only political junkies are paying attention, and anyone who catches things here and there are just as likely to get a bad impression than a good one over this stuff.
I just hope McCain realizes the “ground game” is his key this time around.
When he He returns to the USA He'll be walking across the Atlantic .. just you wait and see. ;)
200?
That would just be his media supporters and his “peeps”.
I was wondering actually about the applause. If there were 200,000 people present in front of Obama, the sound from the applause should have been blaring, it should have covered all other surrounding noises even Obama’s voice. The applause in the sound bites do not sound resonating, it sounds like a couple of thousand people actually.
Any thoughts?
You’d think the Germans would have a better sense of history that letting Obama hold a rally like one of Hitler’s! This foreign campaigning is disgusting!
